1991 Rover - Austin 400 416 SLi review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap, cheerful and fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Manifold gasket is holed and blowing.
Rear Bumper has come adrift on right hand side and hangs down slightly.
Gearbox bearings getting a little rumbly on occasions.
General comments?
I bought this car a month ago for £150 and it is great! Despite the problems noted above, it starts on the first turn of the key every time, and gives me no other worries!
I am also impressed with the performance, especially when I accelerated past an XR3i on the M1 the other day!
My only gripe is that it lacks PAS!
